Glasgow Hilt?
I've been lurking and searching on here for a while trying to learn more about the swords I inherited from my grandfather. Below is what I believe to be a Glasgow hilt. I have only just been able to find what may be some form of maker's mark/s on the hilt. Unfortunately, there appears to be no markings on the blade. If anyone is able to shed more light on exactly what, who etc I have here. I will also be uploading more of what I have inherited, but would like to gain as much info on them one by one.

I'm sorry to hear about your granddad but it is a nice inheritance. I am looking forward to reading what the experts have to say and seeing the rest of the collection. I have always wanted one of these with the broad sword blade, wrist protection intact for use on foot, and Jacobite decoration.

Interesting, this is the second time I've seen sword made up from a basket hilt and a Sudanese takouba blade.
The blade on the other sword used a 1828 pattern basket, and had a marked blade: It makes me think that there was someone assembling these swords out of parts some time back. |
